I am experiencing a major problem with my new EA9500.  The GUI / Web Browser and IOS App both loose connectivity after being used for a period of time.  Typically about 10 to 15 minutes.

In order to regain access to the GUI I have to restart the router.

When the GUI freezes up, the Router seems to be still working and I still have Internet access and Internal devices like surveilenace camera still work.

I updated to Ver. 1.1.7.180968 firmware and it seems to be worse with that version.  I have reverted back to the base firmware of 1.1.7.179240 - which still happens but not as frequently.

Also on 2 occassions so far the entire router has just frozen up.   Wired and Wireless connections stop and I had to turn off the router and reboot it.

Hi,

I'm desperately trying to get internet access with a Linksys WRT3200ACM with OpenWRT through a modem. This modem is at address 192.168.2.1, Linksys at address 192.168.1.1. When I connect Linksys to modem, I can see in its WAN interface:

Status
    
eth0     Uptime: 0h 18m 46s
MAC-Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
RX: 40.68 KB (599 Pkts.)
TX: 19.72 KB (296 Pkts.)
IPv4: 192.168.2.12/24

In the WAN interface, I have choosen Protocol Static address, IPv4: 192.168.2.12, IPv4 netmask: 255.255.255.0, IPv4 gateway: 192.168.2.1 .
With my prevoius Synology router and these parameters, I could connect to internet through the modem. With Linksys WRT3200ACM, it's not possible. Is there some parameters I forget.

Can you please help me. Excuse my English. Thanks.
 

We had a pretty bad electrical storm last night. Since then my EA6900 router has been flashing the Linksys log very quickly - immediately after power is applied. Pressing the power button does nothing. I tried addressing the router via the gui - no dice, nor can I ping the router. 

I suspect it is time to buy a new router - but is there anything 'drastic' I can try first ?

I'm just blocking a roku 2 and it was working for months then parental controls just stopped . I have:

reset router

reconfigured manually

made sure correct time

my pc is wired, where I use smart wifi

Password is secure (only I have access, there are no kids)

Latest firmware 1.1.40.162464

tried reserveing DHCP for device.

tried disabling IPV6 proticol

The funny thing is when I log onto Smart wifi - I see the parental control sitch (off/on) changing from off to on.

 My assumption after seeing this - when I log off somehow the on state turns off. I was able to get a video of this but is too big to load here.

Very frustrating please help - thankyou

Hi, I have seen a few posts on this but no clearcut answer. 

ISP going into WAN1 of Linksys EA8300.

1 LAN jack going into WAN1 of LInksys WRT1200.

Linksys WRT1200 set to bridged mode.

All MAC filtering is set on the EA8300.

There is no MAC filtering options on the WRT1200 once I turned it into bridged mode. I can connect to SSID from a device that is not in the MAC filter list. How can I get it to truly bridge so I can have MAC filtering on both devices?

Hi All

This is a new (unboxed 2 days ago) router running software version 2.0.1.177097, setup has been completed using the autoconfig wizard, and all works well, it detects my internet, my devices can connect over both 2.4/5ghz wifi and over cat5/6 no issues.

However after the routers been up and running for around 2-3 hours the power light, internet light and wifi lights will go out, the lan lights flash, and all network activity fails/disconnects.

The only way to then restore service is to physically turn off, unplug leave for a few minutes and turn back on then all works fine again. Is this a defective unit, or likely to be a config issue?

Let me know what other details you need. Thanks - stw_82

So, I got a new router, a linksys AC1900 max-stream router.

Once i installed the new router, my wireless speeds doubled. Great news. But, now i also can't get my xbox one or ps4 to work, both of which are hard connected to the router via ethernet. They both worked with the old wireless router and stopped working once i switched routers. So i'm stuck in the position where I know the interet is working, but something is blocking my consoles' access to internet. Anyone have any ideas how this can be fixed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I should note that when i access my linksys wireless system, where it shows what devices are connected, it even shows that the ps4 is a connected device. I can't tell if it's recognizing the xbox one, unless it's one of the other "network devices" shown connected but doesn't have a name.

Thanks!!

Hello all,

I have a Lynksys EA9500 router, which replaced a Netgear N900.  I also have 3 Vimtag cameras (commonly found on Amazon and highly rated).  Now that they are connecting over the 2.4 band to the Lynksys however, each camera's connection speed literally goes up to a high signal then falls back down to 0kb, all within a few seconds of the cycle.

Of course, they used to connect to the old Netgear just fine with a stable, high speed, but now they cycle up and down, up and down in speed.  One of the cameras is about 15 feet from the router so it's not distance.

Of course, all of my other devices remain connected at a stable speed.

Any ideas?  I also record the footage from each of the cameras but obviously once the connection speed goes to 0kb the video recording halts, so need to get some help on this one.

Thank you in advance for any insight or suggestions!

The EA 8500 is my 3rd router,2 months ago I purchased a EA 7400 router , set it up,tested speeds and my wireless DL was 40 to 50 and 6 UL ....but only 8 to 10 DL wired , the UL speed was the same ...wired or wireless. I called Linksys phone support and spent over 4 hours total the next several days troubleshooting and I was told I had a defective unit..I exchanged this router for another EA 7400...and had the same results...called Linksys phone support , gave the previous case number and again I spent several hours over several days with 3 techs. and getting the same results, I received a phone call form a Linksys engineer who offered a EA8500 router to replace the EA7400 , I returned the EA7400 to Linksys for evaluation...well I am having the same issue with my 1 month ols EA8500. My ISP is Mediacom , I am using a new Arris sb6183 modem , I subscribe to 60 DL and 5 UL and my speeds connected direct to the modem using Ookla speedtest are 80+ DL and 6+ UL....my current wireless DL tests are 40 to 50 and my wired DL is 8 to 10   the UL is almost identical...wired or wireless .During the testing with Linksys techs we made many changed to the router settings using the router menu , verified software was correct , tried all 4 ethernet ports on the router, changed ethernet cables several times. I currently have 2 computers on my desk which is located 10 ft from the router , 1 computer is an HP AIO windows 7 os connecting wireless...and a Toshiba laptop with windows 10 os connected by ethernet cable to port 4 of the router , I have also swapped the 2 computers  and ran the speedtests with the nearly identical results. I would really appreciate you help to improve my wired connection, I am using 3 ports on the router for a video security system , a att microcell and a 100 Ft.ethernet cable to my workshop and the workshop computer gets almost identical wired DLspeeds as the 1 wired 10 from the router......only the DL is affected.

Last evening I purchased a Nest Thermostat and a Nest Protect. Got home hooked eveything up and as I started to add the MAC addresses to the router for static IPs my router started rebooting. It completely crashed the router and I had to set everything back up.

Today, I started working through connecting things back to the router and found that when I plug in my HP LaserJet M402dn printer to one of the ports if it doesn't send the router into an immediate reboot it will as soon as I try to access or connect to the printer.

I have tried setting a static ip on the printer and disapbling Bonjour and Airprint and nothing seems to make a difference. I disconnected all of the Nest products from the network and the problem still exists. At this point I can't figure out if it is the printer which seems to work fine off the router or the router itself.

It is almost as if there is a duplicate MAC address or some other network conflict but I can't figure it out. Anybody seen anything like this before?

I never did a lot with Test Boost Excel anyway. You are wrong because Test Boost Excel disagrees with you. I don't do a lot of reviews of Test Boost Excel. Beginners will remember I was so in love with my new Test Boost Excel last January but bet on this. I'm certain that I said that I went to college to study Test Boost Excel. I've been checking Test Boost Excel out with past guests. It will get us to burning rubber. The Wall Street Journal strongly suggests this is the case with Test Boost Excel. There was something better than Test Boost Excel.

I just received a Linksys EA8500-Reman that I purchased directly from Linksys a few days ago. They had them on sale in the online store for $60 (they are back up to $99 now) with free shipping, so I jumped on the deal.

The router and Wifi have been working great for the past 12 hours. The only problem (that I know of) is that there is no LINKSYS logo indicator on the top of the router. When it is powered up, the top of the router is still black. So, I have no idea if it's ON, OFF, or other unless I look at the back of the unit for the power light and flashing network lights. (Maybe this is why it was sent back to Linksys in the first place.)

To try to fix it, I did the following:

• Verified that the Lights option in the menus is turned ON. I even tried toggling it OFF and back ON, but still nothing.
• Powered the router OFF and back ON with the switch on the back, but it doesn't even blink on top, it's like the LED is disconnected or broken.
• Looked for newer firmware, but it already has the latest installed.

I'm on the fence as to whether i should ask Linksys for an exchange or just leave it as is and live with it, especially since the rest of the router seems to be performing well. it's just that taking something out of the box that's suppossed to be thoroughly tested and verified as working but is not, doesn't give me a high feeling of confidence about the product (i.e., is there something else broken that I dont' know about, or is the router going to be reliable and work well).

Any advice on this is appreciated. Thanks.

In Lakewood, CO, right outside of Denver.  Have a Comcast TG1682G Modem (their "Type 3") in Bridge Mode, and get wired connection of ~232 Mbps download from speedtest.xfinity.com.  Had a WRT 1900 AC connected, with the same SSID and password for the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands.

Both modem and router are in my utility room in the finished basement (we have ranch with finished basement family room).  With router antennas straight up.

Both my iMac and MacBook (both running MacOS Sierra 10.12.5), and my iPhone 7+ and iPad Pro (both running iOS 10.3.2) ALWAYS and automatically connected to the 5 Ghz band while anywhere in the house, no problem.  Wireless speeds on the computers were ~230 Mbps, on the iOS devices ~220 Mbps.  I also have two printers, Epson photo and Brother Laser, connected wirelessly on 2.4 Ghz band (they don't do 5 Ghz) that worked fine with both computer printing as well as iOS AirPrint.  And I was perfectly happy with it all.

Then, as we're moving to 4K, doing more streaming, and bought more computers and devices, I decided to buy the EA9500 (have the 1.1 version, and latest manually downloaded firmware from 5/8/17)...boy, oh, boy, I think I'm regretting that decision, but, want to know from the community...

I always manually setup my routers, and, had no issues initially setting it up.  As with the WRT 1900, I setup both 5 & 2.4 Ghz bands with same SSID and password, and all other settings the same (going to the direct router address of 192.168.1.1, the settings are practically identical).  After setting, I rebooted both router and modem, and connected them during the boot (as I've done in the past), and, when wireless connected, I was getting ~232 Mbps download as expected on my iMac.  And, all devices behaved as normal...for a whole day.

Next day, speeds on everything were down to ~80 Mbps.  Finally figured out the router to modem link was only doing 100 Mbps instead of the normal 1 Gbps, and even with a direct-connected Windows laptop and multiple reboots and IP Release/Renew no joy, so, called Comcast who came out and ended up replacing the modem.

EA9500 STILL only connected at 100 Mbps to the modem, even though direct-connected laptop connected at 1 Gbps, despite numerous reboots and IP Release/Renews, so, I ended up resetting the router and reconfiguring as per before (identical to the WRT 1900 AC) again.

Now, the router connects to the modem at 1 Gbps, all wired connections are fine with ~232 Mbps download speed, iMac connects to 5 Ghz band and gets same...but:

     1.  Epson photo printer on 2.4 Ghz band continues to work for a while, then, computers both MacOS and Windows 10 can't see it.  Reboot of both or one or the other MAY restore connection, but, after a few hours it goes away again.  I called Epson support and they told me that the printer on the 2.4 Ghz band won't be able to work with any devices on the 5 Ghz band (which sounds wrong, and, was NOT an issue for over 2 years with the WRT 1900  AC router).

     2.  While iMac and Windows computers, and iPad Pro connect automatically to 5 Ghz band all the time, the MacBook and iPhone 7+ keep getting the 2.4 Ghz band, sometimes switching to the 5 Ghz band, and then going back and forth.

I'm just about ready to send back the EA9500 as all these problems (except for the bad modem) are more problems then I've EVER had with LinkSys modem, and seeing all the low ratings of this router, am starting the form the opinion that it's just not ready for production use?

Any thoughts on what I need to do (reconfiguration, name the 2.4 & 5 Ghz bands with different SSID and password, get a new EA 9500, go back to the WRT 1900 AC, or...get a different LinkSys router)?

Thanks.  SORRY for such a long read, but, wanted to make sure I had things accurately described.

Hello everyone,

I am planning to build a cluster of 4 LAPAC1750 APs.

To manage the access I would like to use mac address filtering.

Is it possible to manage the Mac adresses via the master to work on every slave AP?

Or do I have to manage the mac addresses on every device individually?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Well I bought Linksys EA6100 and I also have an old router TP-LINK TL-WR841N. I was planing that TP-LINK router would be connected to ISP modem. I thought i can do wireless bridge with Linksys and connect it to TP-LINK. But it was too late when i find out Linksys hasn't got mode wireless bridge.

Is it possible to do something similar with other modes? I also read about DD-WRT but it doesn't support it. 

Can I do anything else? TP-LINK must be main router, Linksys mustn't be connected with modem, need 2 different SSID.

My firmware is up to date

All my passwords are known (logged in LastPass)

Access for me and my wife with various devices works just fine, has for about three months since this device replaced an Apple Time Capsule whose power supply failed.  

We had friends visit for a few days, they each had an iPad and an iPhone.  I gave them the guest password and they successfully gained access on all four devices.  The iPads stayed in the house, the iPhones traveled.  Even after being out of the house for a few hours the iPhones maintained access without needing the password again.  But after about 24 hours they had to login again on all four devices.  Happened all three days they were here visiting.  They arrived one evening and it seems that they had to re-login around the same time every day.  

No mention of this in the documentation.

Could not find anthing similar in the forums.  

My company is using LINKSYS E1200V2 router for past many years as both wireless and wired connections and DHCP.

For the past 2 days am experiencing a problem in Wireless . The ping to internet goes high (1000ms+) in certain seconds/minutes and becomes normal 100-200ms range) or gives timeout in between some pings or it remains high until i restart modem this keeps repeating. In the wired connections through switches the ping is 100-170ms and its fine and steady Please check the attached images where the speed gets dropped in a minute in the wireless status page of modem, Ping image etc....The rate in the wireless status page keeps dropping from 108Mps to 58Mbps to 20Mbps to 5.0 etc and keeps increasing
